Released: 10th October 2013Publisher: Nexenta

London, UK—10 October 2013—Nexenta (@Nexenta), the global leader in Software Defined Storage (SDS) (#softwaredefinedstorage), today announced that it will highlight the benefit and value it brings to virtual storage accelerator (VSA) strategies at VMworld® Europe 2013 (@vmworld) October 14 through 17 at the Fira Gran Via.

Nexenta has been certified as part of the Cisco (@cisco) and VMware (@vmware) reference architecture program which provides a comprehensive environment with compute, networking, storage and virtualisation functionality. Nexenta allows for the ability to deploy the latest virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solution which independent tests have shown give improvements in physical SAN data retrieval reduction of up to 38X, in SAN write I/O reduction of up to 2.5x and an outstanding 72 percent increase in VM density per host. Further detail on these results can be found in whitepapers co-developed with Cisco and VMware which include full specifications on the reference architecture.

Nexenta’s VSA for VMware Horizon View™ and NexentaStor™ (#nexentastor) solutions integrate with VMware Horizon View, providing enhanced acceleration for storage infrastructure. This policy-driven, high performance and scalability on-demand approach for VDI environments is easy to use, while delivering a fundamentally lower total cost of ownership for both Desktop-As-A-Service (#desktopasaservice) and enterprise VDI infrastructures.

Nexenta will be showcased at the following VMworld sessions, highlighting the benefits received from the joint VMware-Nexenta solution:

“The combination of VMware Horizon View™ and NexentaVSA provides a powerful solution to our customers that can increase performance and reduce costs”, said Erik Frieberg, vice president, Product Marketing, End User Computing, VMware. “Partnering with Nexenta allows our customers to improve the end-user experience without having to worry about underlying infrastructure.”
